twenty-three weeks!

daddy wanted to be in the picture this time.



baby<3

*she's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango), you may be able to see her squirm underneath your clothes--yep, shes a squirmer! blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and her hearing is becoming more keen. baby's cochlea - the inner ear mechanism that houses all components of hearing - is fully formed. so she can hear what i hear, but not at the same level. (sounds and voices are muffled by the muscles and tissue around the placenta, and the amniotic fluid.)
